Operation
Metering is applied on a route basis. When setting up a customer for the
feature, CO routes that are to be metered should only have access to routes
that are metered. Calls should not be allowed to overflow to a nonmetered
route. The BGD and the Meridian digital telephones can show the
accumulated number of calls for each DN meter assigned.
